Numerous complaints include a failure to fulfill orders correctly, excessive oil in dishes, and a lack of communication from staff.

Have been coming here for years and came here today for lunch. Amy looked after us with exceptional service and lovely food. I have been cooking Chinese food as a hobby and the food here is top notch. Thank you View all feedback.
What r50lts dislikes about Chikayan:
Exploited pricesSo eat out to help out is great but not when they increase their prices by 30% and then don’t pass back the VAT from 20-5%Only found out the eat all you can was £28 when the waiter took the order, oh by he way it’s my job to tell you how much the meal is as it’s not printed on the menu.Food was ok, service just acceptable and 15% added to the bill for this. Don’t take Amex either.I feel that they help... View all feedback.
Used to love this place for family and friends catch up. The food used to be spot on and staff friendly. Sadly this is no longer the case. Was there for a small birthday gathering and staff literally had frowns on and miserable. Crispy chilli beef used to be a highlight but this is bad now. Such a shame.
After leaving a justifiably bad review a year ago, having visited many times before, we decided to give this restaurant another chance and we were glad we did. It’s safe to say the food is back to it’s previous best, indeed this was probably the best meal we have had here, visiting many times over the last ten years. Well done to the management and staff, keep it up as we will be returning.
Very nice Chinese restaurant, especially fried noodle and fried rice. We have ordered take away 3 times during our 2 weeks stay in England.
Terrible experience. We ordered takeout from this restaurant, which is just a 5-minute drive from our home. The food arrived cold and the smoked chicken was burnt and cold. The rice was cold, damp, and pudding-like. We will not be ordering from here again.
We ordered delivery online to our home. When the food arrived, it was only warm. We spent £84 for a meal for 4 adults. If the food had been better quality, the temperature might not have been an issue, but unfortunately, it was not. The food itself was mediocre. Additionally, there was a yellow stain on anything that was touched that has been very hard to remove. I would not suggest using this restaurant for takeout or delivery.
